But you asked in a thread about awards? AA’s pricing on its own metal is dynamic and on just about every route is ridiculously high. Cargo is completely unrelated to the pricing of awards. If AA was actually worried about “funding the route during the off season”, economics dictate that award pricing would be lower. Cargo is completely unrelated to the pricing of awards. If you were wondering if cargo is funding the route, then why ask if it was replacing award tickets?
